Tutorial Five: Video Production Sessions

                                                 VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS

A particular interest of mine in the occupational therapy area is vehicle modifications. The five Utube videos listed below reflect that interest and each shows a different way that a vehicle can be adapted to enable people to increase access to occupational engagements and increase their involvement in social participation.
Transportation provides human access to other people and places. A lack of transport options can limit an individuals access to various occupational engagements including work, school and many social activities. It can also undermine a person's wellbeing as often a lack of transport will limit an individuals earning potential and involvement in social participation. (Christiansen & Townsend 2010).
